1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough(I cheat and use a Boboli crust sometimes. See picture to the right.)

1/2 cup roasted garlic Alfredo sauce

2 cups shredded Italian 5-cheese blend

1/4 onion, sliced

1 (6-ounce) package grilled chicken breast strips

4 roasted garlic cloves (you can use regular cloves or omit this ingredient)

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Carefully unroll dough and place on prepared baking sheet. Press out dough with fingers to form 13 by 9-inch rectangle. Bake in preheated oven for 7 minutes, or until crust just begins to brown. Remove crust from oven and top with alfredo sauce and remaining ingredients in the order listed above. Return to oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and begins to bubble.

If using a Boboli or precooked crust, then just pile the ingredients on top in the order listed above and bake about 10 minutes.

My mother in law gave me this recipe recently-thanks Cyndi! This soup is awesome! It is one of our families new favorites. Easy and delicious-only hard part is finding Canyon Foods Tortilla Soup. For those of you that have an HEB grocery store nearby, you're in luck. If anyone finds it anywhere else(besides ordering it online or HEB), let me know!1 (32 oz.) jar Canyon Foods Tortilla Soup16 oz. heavy whipping cream8 oz. Velveeta cheese(cut up into small pieces-makes it melt faster)2 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and cut up OR 2 cans boneless chicken breasts(I use canned-its easier and tastes just as good)Combine ingredients in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low/medium and let simmer for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.I love to serve it with a dollop of sour cream and crushed tortilla chips on top. Yummmm.

Give each child 2 biscuits. The biscuits represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in.

Give each child a marshmallow, this represents Jesus. Have them dip the marshmallow in melted butter, which represents the oils of embalming. Then dip the butteredmarshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar mixture whichrepresent the spices used to anoint the body.

Put the marshmallow in the middle of the two biscuits. Wrap biscuit around marshmallow completely so the marshmallowinside can't leak out. This represents the wrapping of Jesus' body after death.

Place on a greased pan and bake at 350 for 11-13 minutes. The oven represents the tomb.

When the rolls have cooled slightly, the children can open their rolls (cloth) and discover that Jesus is no longer there, He is risen. (The marshmallow and the roll is puffed up, but empty.)

Remove the egg yolks and place in a small bowl. Mash with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard powder, vinegar, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly. Fill the empty egg white shells with the mixture and sprinkle lightly with paprika. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one day before serving.

Combine ingredients for hamburger mixture and sauce inseparate bowls. Spoon a little of the meat mixture on a tortilla.Spoon sauce over the top. Roll up and place in pan. Spoonremaining sauce over top and sprinkle with cheese. Coverwith foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. If desired, youcan place in a freezer bag, seal and freeze. Thaw before baking.

I am giving my sister a baby shower next month. I plan to have a brunch baby shower. I am looking for any breakfast/brunch recipes. I am having fruit salad, sausage balls, and something sweet. I would love a great quiche recipe, or anything else that would be a brunchy food.
